Does this vac work well on carpet?

I'm not as excited about the suction as I was, when I first purchased the unit. Apparently horsepower (HP) is a bogus metric in which to measure the power of the motor and subsequent vacuum. This unit has about 1/2 the suction as my old red/black bulbous unit, with the same HP rating. So no, I would not recommend it for carpet, other than to vacuum up an initial spill of something dusty/dirty/wet that you don't want contaminating your household vacuum cleaner.

Yes! Rather well, too. It gets all the cat litter out of my bathroom rugs and the carpet in the hallway outside the door. The suction surprised me, really. I actually have to push the vacuum away from me while sometimes stepping on the rugs to vacuum them.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

It works great on carpet. You just have to attach the power nozzle. I think this vacuum is awesome. Most of my apartment is hard wood and I have several large, area rugs. It cleans everything great.

I use it to vacuum the throw rugs at the front and back doors. I just step on a corner of the throw rug an it cleans it up. I also have a runner in the bath room that I vacuum with this and as long as I put a foot on 1 corner there are no problems. But your right; it does have a lot of suction....and that's a good thing!

yea quite well. suction seems to adjust to keep the area rug from getting pulled up and eat up by a vaccuum

It works well on any kind of carpet. It has different settings depending on the thickness.

It works best on carpet. On tile or wood floors, not as effective. It tends to push trash around instead of picking them up.

Does OK. I usually use it on carpet and rugs. I like the steam vac better for wood floors.

No it does not. This vacuum does a great job on area rugs, it is pretty powerful, but I wouldnt use it for a whole house carpeted floors.

I am very happy with this vac. Does great on carpeted and wood stairs and floors! It gets pretty close to walls when it cleans but you'll need a canister vac to really do a thorough job. But how often do you do that? This is a great vac with very good power. I love it! Hope this helps.

This is not the greatest vacuum. I would rethink it! It works well on a bare floor, but not that great on carpet. You just plug it in and it last only minutes.

This vacuum is best on hard floors, and just ok on carpet. I use it on vinyl, wood and low pile floor carpets. It will do well with pet hair.

I have three pets so vacuum thoroughly before cleaning the carpet. I have not had any problem with the Hoover. it cleans up easily.

It works well on steps. Mine only have a carpet runner and the pile is very short and stiff and it cleans them quite well. The first time I used it, I noticed that it picked up a lot more dirt then my previous handheld vacuum.
